The New York Herald is giving 9
stronger support to President Cleveland
and his administration than any other
of the great journals Of the East. II
misses no opportunity to say q good
word for both. It claims that the bust.
ness men Of the country, and especially
those OF New York State, which is
again to be the battle ground next year,
will very largely support President
Cleveland without regard to party. Be-
low is q leading editorial from that
journal of a recent date, showing that it
regards the reelection of Mr.. Cleveland
as q foregone conclusion. 1t says:
"Now, mind you, not every Democrat
in the country is entirely satisfied with
MI. Cleveland's distribution of patron.
age. There has been in time past q very
considerable feeling that he is not enough
of q party man, or, in other words, not
sufficiently q partisan. Fault has been
found for this reason or for that reason.
and the Herald has done its share of
criticism.
"We recognize the fact, though, that
no President can please everybody. 1t
is a good thing to recognize another fact
at the same tim~e-namely, that it is not
his business to please everybody. We
are inclined to think that if the Angel
Gabriel should come to New York-and
if be ever concludes to leave his present
residence, he will, of course, select New
York as the best place to live in-and
run for q State or national Office, there
would be an element Of opposition to
him-if not among the Democrats, to
whose party he would most certainly be.
long, then assuredly among the Repub.
licans. The man of brains, the man who
has the courage of his convictions, the
man who has hammered out for himself
a definite policy, is bound to create
enemies. 1t is only the man of putty,
who has mush in his Uranium as q sub.
stitute for brains, who fatters himself
that he can satisfy every one.
"Mr. Cleveland has made some mis-.
takes. That proves that the resemblance
between him and the rest of us is very
close. We have never had the honor of
an introduction to a statesman who never
made a blnnder. If you know one you
had better embalm him at once, for he
is the rarest curiosity OF the footstool.
"But it is readily admitted-and it
will do no harm to keep your eye on
this point-by the business men of both
parties that Cleveland is an uncomnfonly
safe person to give a lease of the White
House to for another four years. He
has not q particle of dynamite in his
make up. He does not set off any pc.
litical fireworks, with the chance of q
conlagration as the result. The coun.
try is as safe as q man.of.war at anchor.
The guns are all there, and they can be
got ready for use when necessity re.
quires, but they are not fred for the
sake Of making a brilliant personal ad.
ministration. Merchants can give their
notes for ninety days without any fear
that the Old Harry may be to pay be.
fore the notes come due. That is worth
q great deal. We are q nation of traders,
a money loving and money making peo-
pie, and we want peace and quiet, if we
can have them with honor, because
peace and quiet mean u~ndisturbed
profits.
"If the Democratic party loses the
fight it will be its own fault. With the
domain and q material reduction
of a corrupting revenue as issues to 70
to the people with all it needs is I'M.
broken ranks. The Republicans will
lead their forlorn hope with a bloody
for a banner, but it will be in vain.
Their Waterloo is right ahead"
